Regulars -Lakeland Pale Ale 4%

The infant of the Bitter End family. Concieved by Mike and Steve when the new head brewer started in December 2007, Pale Ale was a reaction to the popularity of such pale hoppy beers being imbibed in every corner of England with a good brewery to its name, and kind pub for such imbibing.

Brewed with three varieties of hop, low colour pale malted barley and a touch of crystal malt for charcter, pale ale is a cracking summer beer...Steve's generous use of the German lager hop, Hallertau Northern Brewer -originally a seedling bred from the English variety, Northdown developed by the department of hop reaseacrch at Wye College in Kent in 1970, lends in my opinion, the beer a delicate floral aroma alongside the more assetive resins of the Cascade hop.
